Tours to Hacienda Nápoles, Río Claro and Doradal
If you don't want to drive or juggle buses, a tour sorts out transport, meals and activities. The tour types and what to check are below.
Types of tours
- From Medellín: a Hacienda Nápoles or Río Claro day trip (about 14 hours round trip) or 2-day packages with a hotel.
- From Bogotá: usually depart at night to arrive early, or run 2-3 days.
- On site: Río Claro rafting, the Cave of the Oilbirds and zip-lining, departing from the reserve.
What to check before booking
- Whether park entry (and which pass) or reserve entry is included.
- Number of meals and pickup point/time.
- Cancellation policy and the operator's RNT (Colombia's National Tourism Registry) number.

Frequently asked questions
Is a tour better than going on my own?
Going on your own is cheaper if you take the bus and stay a few days. A tour makes sense if you only have one day from Medellín or Bogotá: it covers transport, meals and sometimes park entry.
Do tours include Hacienda Nápoles tickets?
It depends on the operator: always check whether the pass is included and which one (Basic, Safari or Premium).
